Using Pygame or Python?

A while back I remember reading an article about Python and was really interested in seeing it work. I forgot about it and just recently I stumbled across pygame which, at first sight, seems an ideal dev environment.

So far, I have seen very little about it being used but surely someone here uses it or have used it in the past. I need your opinions, is it a good language to use or am I wasting my time in trying? Bear in mind that any programming I have done so far has been in BASIC so is learning a new language like this going to be a nightmare?

There's not really very much there, it's scarcely worth it. All it really is is prebuilt binaries of the freely-available Ruby libraries, and a Project Builder project & main.c file to tie it all together. The libraries weren't terribly difficult to build, the main.c isn't rocket science, it just seems there's not much point in someone doing it again...
